and then to my review of the boxset in this month's Uncut.
'Fraid I didn't think much of the Ella duets - very much a case of two different records playing at once. There's definitely a tail-off after about '74, but everything before that is a pearl. Check out particularly the really early mid-to-late '60s stuff; the sophistication of the production and arrangements for the time is quite phenomenal.

I saw a Carpenters video recently and was struck by how great they all looked early on, a bit like Led Zep or something.

"Your Navy Presents" is, perhaps disappointingly, a US Navy radio show. The "interview" here is, as RC notes, very obviously scripted.

the version i have on itunes just has vocals, a snare drum and an electric bass, both played very softly. incredible.
― Treeship, Tuesday, 25 November 2014 04:11 (nine years ago) link
i don't know where it's from. it's labeled as the "singles" collection, but on spotify that album has all of the fuller arrangements and they are not as good.
― Treeship, Tuesday, 25 November 2014 04:12 (nine years ago) link
anyway, whatever this collection is all of the arrangements are minimal and i've had it as part of my itunes library since high school. the ordinary versions i hear on the radio seem completely wrong.
― Treeship, Tuesday, 25 November 2014 04:15 (nine years ago) link
what is this version of this song that i have on my itunes??????? i can't find it anywhere and i think it is one of the best mp3s i've ever heard.
― Treeship, Friday, 5 December 2014 23:55 (nine years ago) link
appealing to ilm's collective wisdom. this used to be a music message board after all.
I read your post when you posted it and spent a fair amount of time searching for this but came up with nothing. Carpenters are very well documented online - all versions of the song are documented on that one website I'm sure you've seen. Can you post it or share it somehow? I want to hear it.

here you go. included a photo i took of bok choy as well.
― Treeship, Saturday, 6 December 2014 03:08 (nine years ago) link
i have, i think, all of their singles with these kinds of mixes.
― Treeship, Saturday, 6 December 2014 03:10 (nine years ago) link
thanks for posting, that's awesome. never heard the stripped down version before.
― that's not my post, Saturday, 6 December 2014 03:26 (nine years ago) link
Based on the first 30s, it sounds like the version here: http://dangerousminds.net/comments/karen_carpenters_voice_listen_to_her_isolated_vocal

here's another one that sounds particular striking when pared down.

this one has some layered vocals
― Treeship, Saturday, 6 December 2014 06:33 (nine years ago) link
xp also sund4r, you're right those are the same versions. i am still confused about where these came from.
― Treeship, Saturday, 6 December 2014 06:36 (nine years ago) link
The link in the DM article directs you to Studio Multitracks, where you can find isolated tracks for many popular recordings. I don't know where those are coming from either, though, yeah.
